Sample QuestionThe snow leopard lives in the rocky mountain caves of Central Asia, some 6,000–18,000 feet (1,829–5,486 m) above sea level. The animal's beautiful, soft, gray fur is speckled with black or brown ringed spots. Its thick tail, which is more than of its 6–7.5 foot (2–2.3 m) total length, is heavy with fur to protect the animal from extreme cold. The snow leopard uses its tail both for balance and to wrap around its curled-up body and cover its nose and mouth in subzero temperatures. The bottoms of its large, furry paws are also covered with fur to help protect the pads from the cold, sharp ice and jagged rocks. The snow leopard is like other big cats in some ways and different in others. For example, other big cats roar, but not the snow leopard. It purrs like many smaller cats! And the snow leopard feeds in a crouched position, like a house cat, instead of lying down like other big cats. Most leopards hunt at night, often leaping from trees to chase down their prey, then store the food high in a tree away from other predators. But snow leopards hunt in the early morning and late afternoon. They rest on cliff edges, waiting for prey to pass by. Then the cat may leap as much as 50 feet uphill to capture a meal. Prey consists of almost any available animal, like wild sheep, goats, deer, or birds. Then, since there are no trees high in the mountains to store food in, the snow leopard stays on the ground close to its kill, often returning for three or four days to feed. In spring, a female snow leopard has from one to four kittens. They stay with their mothers through their first winter, then go off to hunt on their own. Snow leopards are extremely rare; in fact they're an endangered species. Many have been hunted for their beautiful fur and their bones, which are ground up and used in some Chinese medicines. Scientists estimate there are only about 4,000–7,000 snow leopards left in the wild. You may be able to see one in a zoo. There are 600–700 snow leopards living safely in zoos around the world. According to the article, the snow leopard is like a small cat because

Sample QuestionSelection 1 The queen bee is the most important bee in the hive. She is usually the mother of all the bees in the hive, and rules over all the other bees. Special worker bees look after her by brushing and combing her body and making sure that she is fed on royal jelly. The queen must be strong and healthy to lay eggs. It has been estimated that she may lay two thousand eggs a day and up to a million in her lifetime. A queen bee lives in the middle of the hive where it is warm. She goes from cell to cell poling in her long slender body to lay eggs. She lays eggs in a few special cells that are reserved for the new queens. The ordinary eggs hatch out into larvae and are fed on bee bread. The new queens are fed royal jelly, a secretion from glands on the heads of young workers, to make the queens grow faster and have a different appearance from the worker bees. When a colony of bees becomes overcrowded, the old queen moves off. She takes many of the worker bees with her and leaves in a swarm. Some workers stay behind to care for the larvae that have been left behind. After the pupa stage, the young bees emerge. Among the young bees are the few young queens, who have been in their special cells that look like half peanut shells. The queens fight and sting each other until only one remains as the new ruler of the hive. She then flies from the hive to mate with one or more drones. The young queen returns to the hive and begins to lay eggs two days later. The new queen never needs to mate again and may live for as long as another five years. Question: Around how many eggs could a queen bee lay in a day?

Sample QuestionThe Caribbean sun looked brilliant in the perfect light-blue sky. The wind blew softly as the waves lapped at the shore. The soft sand was just the right temperature as it slipped through my toes. As I lay on my blanket, I exhaled and turned another page. Today couldn’t be any more perfect. In fact, everything with this trip had gone so well. I had never been out of the country before, much less on a plane. However, I got my passport without any hitches, and I didn’t get motion sickness on the flight. The resort limo was at the airport waiting to whisk me away. Lying here on a tropical beach with a glass of ice-cold water in one hand and my favorite novel in the other is my idea of a getaway. Just then, a seagull swooped down and disturbed my serenity. The bird grabbed my book right out of my hands and took off. I chased it as far as I could before the seagull dropped my beloved paperback into the deep blue sea. All I could do was sigh. I knew this day was too good to be true! Which of the following statements is best supported in this selection?

Sample QuestionOur Ears Description Our ears allow us to hear sounds of all types: the voices of our family and friends, the music we like, the sounds of nature, the noises of the city. As well, our ears help us to keep our balance and warn us of danger. The part of our head that we call the ear is only the outer part of the organ of hearing. The ear has three parts. Sound passes through the outer ear to the middle ear, which picks up the vibrations of the sound and transfers it to the inner ear. Here they are changed into nerve signals that travel to the brain. The brain translates the nerve signals and tells us what sound we are hearing. We measure sound in decibels. The sound of this page turning might be about thirty (30) decibels. While the concert your big sister attended last night could have measured an ear-splitting one hundred (100) decibels! Our inner ear helps us to keep our balance. It has a number of semicircular canals that contain fluid, and this fluid moves when we move. Information about the fluid's movement is carried to the brain by nerves. The brain makes sense of this information and then sends messages to the muscles we need to keep our balance. Have you noticed that a cat can move its ears and point them towards a sound? This is because a cat must be constantly on-guard against danger and needs to know the direction from which a sound comes. Our ears don't move in the same way. Can you think why? It is because we don't need to protect ourselves in the same way. So, our ears can sit close to our heads and not move all around. True or False? Our ears pick up sound vibrations.

Sample Question1. Questions 1-7. In the sixteenth century, an age of great marine and terrestrial exploration, Ferdinand Magellan led the first expedition to sail around the world. As a young Portuguese noble, he served the king of Portugal, but he became involved in the quagmire of political intrigue at court and lost the king's favor. After he was dismissed from service to the king of Portugal, he offered to serve the future Emperor Charles V of Spain. A papal decree of 1493 had assigned all land in the New World west of 50 degrees W longitude to Spain and all the land east of that line to Portugal. Magellan offered to prove that the East Indies fell under Spanish authority. On September 20, 1519, Magellan set sail from Spain with five ships. More than a year later, one of these ships was exploring the topography of South America in search of a water route across the continent. This ship sank, but the remaining four ships searched along the southern peninsula of South America. Finally they found the passage they sought near a latitude of 50 degrees S. Magellan named this passage the Strait of All Saints, but today we know it as the Strait of Magellan. One ship deserted while in this passage and returned to Spain, so fewer sailors were privileged to gaze at that first panorama of the Pacific Ocean. Those who remained crossed the meridian we now call the International Date Line in the early spring of 1521 after ninety-eight days on the Pacific Ocean. During those long days at sea, many of Magellan's men died of starvation and disease. Later Magellan became involved in an insular conflict in the Philippines and was killed in a tribal battle. Only one ship and seventeen sailors under the command of the Basque navigator Elcano survived to complete the westward journey to Spain and thus prove once and for all that the world is round, with no precipice at the edge. The sixteenth century was an age of great ___exploration.
